Question

During an adiabatic process, the cube of the pressure is found to be inversely proportional to the fourth
power of the volume. Then, the ratio of specific heats is 

Moderate
Solution

Equation of an adiabatic process is  pVγ=k                …(i)

Given,   p3=kV4

 p3V4=k or pV4/3=k

Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

γ=43=1.33
